This month saw a three-way tie for student employee of the month: Robert (Bobby) Bertini, Sabrina Clerssaint and Melissa Schroeder, all seniors.

Bobby Bertini, an economics major from West Hartford, Conn., has worked in Falvey’s Resource Management for four years. Roberta (Robbie) Rosci, Resource Management specialist, says, “[Bobby] is a great kid. He has been a faithful worker for all of his four years at Villanova. He’s very versatile and does any task … with a smile. He keeps our weekly book orders moving, from opening the boxes to labeling the books.” Bobby is the current director of fundraising for Rays of Sunshine. He plays ultimate Frisbee and indoor soccer and is an avid follower of the Italian soccer club, Juventus. He is “also a big tennis fan.” Bobby says, “[I] had a great four years working in Falvey!”

Sabrina Clerssaint, a biology major, has worked in Access Services since her sophomore year. She has done shelving, inter library loan and shipping. Rebecca (Becky) Whidden, Access Services specialist, says, “[Sabrina] is always willing to cover other students’ shifts and put in overtime. She graciously does any task set before her. Sabrina always has a smile on her face and a joyful attitude. We will miss her tremendously.” A native of Maywood, N.J., Sabrina is a member of Alpha Epsilon Delta (pre-medical honor society) , the vice president of Delta Sigma Theta sorority and one of the secretaries of the Villanova Gospel Choir. She also received a 2011 Blue White Club scholarship. Her hobbies include reading, relaxing with friends and exploring the city with friends and family.

Melissa Schroeder, an accounting major from Washington Township, N.J., has worked for Falvey since her first year at Villanova. She works in circulation and also does shelving, reporting to Phylis Wright, manager of access desk services. Melissa is a Villanova cheerleader . After receiving her bachelor’s degree in accounting and management information systems, Melissa will work for Deloitte & Touche in Philadelphia. Philip Mairs, a library assistant who works with Melissa says, “[She] is a very good worker and relates very well to both students and staff.”

The University Staff Council (USC) of Falvey, led by Linda Hauck, business librarian, selects a student employee of the month based upon nominations from the department supervisors of student employees.

Joanne Quinn, graphic designer, will create a sketch of each of the student employees of the month. The sketches will be displayed on the pillar behind the circulation desk and then will be given to the students.
